Always struggled w depression somewhat and go through low days where it’s hard to get out of bed. Usually spaced out though. But COVID has made this worse. Been very unable to put in consistent work. I live w my fiancé and he just told me he’s been thinking hard how to proceed w the relationship because he is brought low also by these struggles of mine and doesn’t want a partner who struggles w this (lazy wo willpower - paraphrasing). I don’t know what to do. He’s mentioned these things (cont)

Does anyone have ideas for social distancing little kids walking in line? Teaching personal space in moving lines is difficult in normal years, but this year I don't know how I will get them to keep a 6ft. distance as they walk.

Hey Fishes,
Been working at D India as a Manager (Not USI) for past few months.
Ask me anything as there are very few reviews available online.
To clear few misconceptions
1. Global projects are available here
2. They've started mentioning Bonus, Gratuity amount etc in offer letter
3. Work life balance depends on Project and managers you work with
4. Inside opportunities if you're the creamy layer
5. PF amount in offer letter is the total deduction and not just company's contri

Lately I am feeling my life is excessively hard on me. From a difficult childhood to loosing a parent at a you age was really disturbing. I am going through therapy and my doctor want me to take drugs

What’s the work culture like in EY Risk in the Sydney office? How is work life balance and what industries do you serve?

Hi everyone! I currently work in an outpatient setting doing individual therapy but am planning to leave my job. I have a handful of patients, some of which have been meeting with me consistently for over 2 years, that I suspect will want to remain in touch after I leave. Has anyone ever done this before? If so, what did it look like for you and the patient? Or do you advise against it and if so why? I’ve been researching this and can understand both sides of the argument. Thanks in advance!

UG -> Full-time, living at home to pay off college loans in first year. Afterwards, unsure if I want to stay at home to save/invest or move out with friends. (Already helping pay rent at home). Idk?

Thinking of switching to Bearing Point. What their reputation like in Middle East? Who are their top clients? What’s WLB like?

Spouse is a state department employee and currently overseas. I’m a manager with three years of experience in consulting and 8 years of experience in the military where I left as a O-3 (GS-12 equivalent). SO wants me to take a non-negotiable family member hire role at the embassy overseas for one year so we can co-locate. Job sounds interesting, but is a non-negotiable GS-6 equivalent. Family life would be great but am I derailing my career permanently? Can I explain this in the future?

Is IB worth the sacrifice of WLB? Obvious pay is really good but are the prestige and pay worth it if you’re planning on only doing it for a couple years?

Currently working at an IRA with great WLB. Honestly I love my job, the firm, and people I work with.

Also doing MBA part time at a T15 school. Thinking about switching to IB but I’ve done my research and I think I would burn out of IB in two years but I might be ok with that for the opportunities after.

How’s your work-life balance? New job at a new company and wondering how to clarify standards on this

I have an interview with Korn Ferry for an associate principal role and am curious about others’ experiences have been with work-life balance here. Also, I have an idea of what I should be compensated in this type of role, but any insights on how they pay compared to others would be helpful. Are you traveling during the pandemic or have client interactions been virtual? Lastly, if you are a consultant here, are you on billable hours? My current consulting role is not - so this would be new.

Hi all,

I currently work as an international tax consultant at Deloitte and am hoping to make a change to some type of field isustainabilty. I understand I can work in reporting or consulting most likely, but was wondering if anyone had any recommendations on what companies to target? I hope to have some level of work life balance (50 hours per week seems reasonable).

How do you deal with the stress of having appointment after appointment during working hours, while being unable to be clear about why/where you’re going?
My wife works in the corporate world and is - unfortunately, rightfully - afraid that the knowledge of our IVF process would destroy chances of her possible imminent promotion. Going for appointments in the middle of the day (early am when possible) forces her to lie - which is a horrible situation to be in. What have others done?

I have an intern who's hygiene has slowly deteriorated over a few very stressful weeks at work. Should I leave them be, or gently remind them?

What's the best way to tell a firm you're leaving before busy season, without burning any bridges? I really like the people at my firm, but I'm switching to a job with better work life balance, and don't want to suffer through another busy season if I am leaving anyways.

Is anybody travelling from faridabad to Ibm ASF insignia Gwal Pahadi. Does shuttle stop too far from ASF Insignia or its walking distance?

Had an electrician come to my home yesterday to split up a circuit line so the microwave could have its own dedicated line. Paid him for the assessment/fix and gave him a tip as well cause I thought he was nice. Next day my dishwasher doesn’t turn on and when I checked the power grid something tripped a couple of the switches. I flipped them back and the dishwasher still doesn’t turn on. I called the guy to see if he can come this week and he asks for a travel fee of $25. Normally I wouldn’t

Anyone have experience with ketamine or ayahuasca?

Is it just me…or are people more overly bitter these days? It seems at every corner every person I talk to or encounter they are just bitter…

So, my timing isn't what it used to be. I left the firm in January after I had a real talk with myself and admitted that this was not what I wanted to do and was not at all good for my mental health.

So I adopted a cat during quarantine. Although I love him, having him seems to have worsened my anxiety. I would never give him away but the responsibility has been giving me severe anxiety. Even though I had thought long and hard about getting him. I think coupled with the fact I started a new job a month ago, I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed. I’m starting medication this week and hoping it will help me. But right now, I am so stressed out and anxious :/ any tips? Or words of encouragement?

I’m really abusive to myself. The only thing that makes me happy is putting myself down. Why am I like this?

Have a job interview for a role I’m excited about tomorrow but I’m so depressed and tired I can’t even muster up the energy to prep. Any words of encouragement would be great

Very quick note to say I think it takes a lot of courage for our industry colleagues to open up on here about their mental health concerns, esp considering the shitshow of consulting...

I simply can't do 13 hour+ days on end. This job is terrible but I'm scared to quit.

I started taking Wellbutrin last week. I feel restless and low energy last few days. Also, feel bit dizzy sometime after the medication. Usually how many days will it take for the medication to work?

How to tell a manager/firm that a current job isn’t for you? If you do the work well and get along with your team but strive for another role (not in the usual trajectory), how do you express this?

My therapist just told me I'm depressed..do you ever feel like they tell you things you hear a lot or could have figured out on your own? Like take care of yourself, it's ok to feel such and such, etc. I'm still newer to therapy so wondering if that's the common experience? Do you ever have moments where you're like wow that actually is eye opening and I wouldn't have gotten that from reading self help books and websites etc?

Hi fish friends - I’ve been on and off lexapro for five years - my current prescription looks like it’ll end next month and the doctor I got I from didn’t add any new refills. I didn’t love him or the practice and want to find a new doctor close to home (rather than close to work, with WFH still going strong)

Do I schedule another appt with the first guy to keep my pills going? Or let it lapse and get reevaluated by a new doctor?

Recently was put on the bench and freaking out about being on it too long. Unsure if my career niche (government) is for me. Honestly struggling and hoping I can find a new job but no where is biting.

I feel stuck. This job is hard. Feels like lots of people piling on while I’m away from home and my SO. It would be nice to feel more supported and have less toxic clients.

I’m really struggling mentally. The understanding of how insanely busy and overwhelming it will be because of this COVID-19 crap is giving me severe anxiety and panic attacks. I want to leave so badly but no one is hiring right now. I don’t know what to do. I feel trapped with no way out.
